    Queen's Quay at Bathurst is one lane in each direction plus the streetcar. Bathurst south of Lake Shore is the same, but south of QQ there is no streetcar so it's two lanes. That's what causes the...

    They're ok when it's just you, but when cyclists are coming from both directions, they are a PITA. Or add in pedestrians, strollers, etc. I know they're meant to slow people down, but they annoy me....

    Sure the plane noise is there, but right now what's most annoying is the tunnel construction; imagine the sound of a hammer banging all day every day -- even on one Sunday starting at something like...

    It's also exciting from a historical perspective because just to the east of the Bathurst bridge is where the Simcoes first set up camp back in the 1700s, so it's nice to see this area developing and...

    I got that poll. They asked about whether I thought a certain Councillor (not mine and not one of the Waterfront/Beaches area councillors) was doing a good job. It seems they didn't do a great job of...

    No, I didn't buy in KWL. Just commenting because it's the same developer and their processes don't seem to have changed much. We bought to live, not as an income property. No flipping for us :)

    Appliances. I swapped mine out. For that kind of delivery, you have to book the elevator and in the early days, there 's a waiting list. Sometimes if you only have one item and don't need it for the...

    I think we only had one elevator for moves. There are so many factors to consider,and rentals certainly play a part. And of course some people can't move during the week so they just have to wait,...

    We had 300+ units in about six weeks

    It works itself out. People don't always move in on occupancy day. For example, we had painting and other work done before moving in

    I am actually fortunate. Our builder provided low estimates for people who bought in early, but fee estimates were on par with market rates when I bought. Our board has been diligent and have kept...

    Not always. They sometimes set them artificially low to entice buyers. Then those buys get a nasty surprise when fees go up by big amounts after the first year.

    Streetcars are cute? Seriously?

    Anyway, I regularly see people taking both the 509 bus (the streetcar when it was running) and the 511 streetcar to go to the airport, suitcases and all. Not in...

    I'm a highly educated downtowner, and Pantalone held no appeal for me. I held my nose and voted because there wasn't much choice, but I sure wasn't voting for Ford.

    I can just think of so many more things to devote energy to than graffiti, probably because it really doesn't bother me and actually rather interests me -- who did it, what was their message, why...
